The case: On June 20, a fight took place at Caribe Club, 8640 S.W. Canyon Road. Club security staff broke up the fight but it resumed in the parking lot. Hector Carrasco-Montiel, 24, of Newport, followed Jacinto Lopez-Estrada, 22, of Portland, to his car and hit him in the head with a beer bottle, causing permanent blindness in Lopez-Estrada's left eye, authorities said. In September, a grand jury indicted Carrasco-Montiel of first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Update: After a four-day jury trial, Carrasco-Montiel was convicted March 19 on one count each of first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Sentence: Carrasco-Montiel was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison, followed by three years of post-prison supervision. Carrasco-Montiel is to have no contact with the victim, was recommended for alcohol abuse treatment and is to pay $10,143.27 in restitution. After completion of his prison time, Carrasco-Montiel will be turned over to federal immigration officials for presumptive deportation, Lesowski said. One of the conditions of his post-prison supervision is Carrasco-Montiel must not return to the United States illegally.
